All right, all bets are down.

No more bets, please.

I'm just a bad boy

All dressed up in fancy clothes

I ain't takin' no trouble

To blow my bubbles away

- Hey.

- Hi!

Tail those two guys.

I'm takin' a ride in their car.

"In all the galaxies,

in all the endless reaches of space,

I have found no planet

more blessed than this one."

"And yet, in its uncontrollable insanity,

the human race seeks to destroy

this shining jewel,

this blessed sphere,

which men call Earth."

"And trapped upon this world of madness

stand I!"

"The Silver Surfer!"

Yeah! Yeah, you tell 'em, Surfman!

You tell 'em!

Life is just a bowl of cherries

I ain't taking no trouble

To turn my nights into day

Hello, little Porsche!

Like to go home with me, little Porsche?

Take me all the way to LA

to see my baby!

I can see all the folks,

they're laughin' at me

Cos I'm just naturally crazy

Bad boy

All dressed up in fancy clothes

Jesse! Jesse!

- Jess, take me with you!

- Nah! Risky, baby.

Jess, I ain't scared of nothin'!

Come on, you little baby Porsche!

Come on! Come on!

Yeah, that's right! Yeah!

All right.

So first I go get the money.

Then I go ask Monica.

I say "Monica,

you ever been to Mexico, honey?"

I say "Monica, darlin',

you coming to Mexico with me?"

"Monica, you coming to Mexico with me!"

Me and Monica!

Cos I'm gonna

tell you how it's gonna be!

Mon-Monica and me!

Me and Monica!

Yeah, me and Monica go to Mjico!

Look at that sky!

We got some music here?

Ain't you pretty?

Disco.

Manilow.

I know what we need!

We need the Killer! The Killer rocks on!

Mr Jerry Lee Lewis

and his pumpin' piano!

If you're gonna love me,

lover, please don't tease

If I can hold you, honey, let me squeeze

Well, my heart, it goes round and round

And my love comes tumblin' down

You leave me... ah... breathless!

Oh, I shake all over,

honey, you know why

I'm sure it's love,

baby, now that ain't no lie

Let me have a look here

and see who's lost a Porsche.

Wow! Holy frijoles!

Breathless!

Ooh, baby!

Mmm, crazy!

Honey, you're much too much

Now you know I can't love you enough

It's all right to hold me tight

But when you love me, love me right!

Come on, baby, now you don't be shy

This love was meant forjust you and I

Wind, rain, sleet or snow,

I'm gonna get you, baby

My God! Look at that sky!

You leave me... ah... breathless!

Come on, girl! Damn!

Grandma was slow, but she was old!

Hey, girls! You ever kiss a pig?

I say "Monica! I'm comin', baby!

I'm getting closer!"

Baby... baby

Honey, you're much too much

Sh*t! A cop!

Jinxed! I swear to God, I am jinxed!

Come on, baby, now you don't be shy

This love was meant forjust you and I

Wind, rain, sleet or snow

Honey, Jerry's gonna get you

wherever you go

You... leave me... ah...

Breathless!

Come on!

Goddamn! Piece-of-sh*t Porsche!

Freeze!

Move away from the car! Let me see

your hands! Get away from the car!

Move! I said move!

Get away from the car, you son of a b*tch!

Get away from the car

or I'll blow you away!

Jinxed.

That's right. Keep goin'. Keep goin'.

Around the corner. Nobody home.

Baby, I like yellow.

Nobody home.

What do you think?

Hey, good idea.

Back to Disneyland for you.

You're so pretty.

Not there? Do you know where he is?

Yeah. Yeah, it's Jesse.

I just got back into town.

He's holdin' some money for me.

Gotta have it right away.

Hey, babe, come on. Talk to me.

Right. Catch him at work.

Where are you?

Monica.

Don't know much about history

Don't know much biology

- Who's in there now?

- Monica, the French girl.

- They're squashing her now!

- Those guys are like vampires!

They're flunking everybody!

And I know that if you love me, too

What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography

Don't know much trigonometry

Don't know much about algebra

Don't know what a slide rule is for

But I do know one and one is two

And if this one could be with you

Let me help you with that.

- Sorry.

- That's OK. You're doing great.

Just keep it cute.

Go on, please.

I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history

There's a review in progress.

You can't go in there now.

Hold that for me.

- Hello, sunshine!

- There's an exam going on in here!

Who is this guy? Do you know him?

Fear not. The Silver Surfer

serves those in distress.

- Is this a friend of yours, Monica?

- Oh, no, no. She don't know me.

I'm here from Maintenance.

They sent me to pick up this table.

Are you crazy?

There's an exam going on in here!

- Go ahead. Ask me a question.

- About how long you gonna be, pal?

I gotta get this

down to art class real quick.

They need something to put

a banana on, so they can draw it.

You can't just draw a banana

when it's lying on the floor.

- Now, just a minute!

- What's going on here?

That's a terrible stain.

Somebody ought to call Security

on that young man!

Hey, look at this. Hey, wild man!
